HID Global’s Crescendo Key Series help organizations to improve their security posture, comply with industry mandates and improve the user experience by providing proven, strong authentication for employees accessing corporate networks, applications and data. Designed to be easy and fast to deploy, the Crescendo security keys support proven standards such as PIV and FIDO2. Crescendo Key Series utilizes Near Field Communications (NFC), a USB-A and a USB-C while offering the same two-factor authentication, and digital and encryption capabilities of a smart card.

     ●Seamless compliance while protecting networks, computers and applications with strong authentication.

     ●Digital signature, enabling users to verify the provenance of emails and documents.

     ●Data encryption, allowing only authorized users to access sensitive information.
